"Yum...I went in and order and left in less than 10 minutes...fresh and healthy!" said Brandy Walters on Facebook of the establishment located in Ulster County.

First Capital Poké Bar on 310 Wall Street in Kingston, which opened officially on Sunday, Oct. 10, has four signature Poké bowls on their menu, and also allows customers to build their own bowls from a list of fish, vegetables, sauces, toppings, garnishes and condiments.

"Poké is a traditional Hawaiian dish made of fresh fish, limu (seaweed), inamona or kukui nut (candlenut) and sea salt" reads a description of Poké from the restaurant's website. "From its original form, Poké has evolved into a local 'must have' at every social event, celebration or gathering.

"Poké, once thought of like a pupu or appetizer, is now commonly eaten as a meal in the form of a Poké bowl — fresh poké on a bed of hot steamed rice or on a fresh crisp salad. 

"Our seafood products are sourced from responsible producers and vendors that have the highest standards in assuring your seafood will be safe and wholesome."

The restaurant's pre-designed bowls include the "Million Dollar Bowl," which consists of:

  • white rice, 
  • shrimp tempura, 
  • snow crab, 
  • kewpie spicy, 
  • eel sauce, 
  • avocado, 
  • shredded egg, 
  • masago, 
  • sesame seeds, shredded nori.

The "Bugolgi Bowl" consists of:

  • wagyu beef, 
  • brown rice, 
  • Korean spicy, carrots, corn, kimchee, broccoli, truffle soy, bugolgi sauce, crispy onions, gochujang and sweet potato strings.
